Auddia (NASDAQ: AUUD) plans merger creating McCarthy Finney with 80/20 split
Auddia Inc. plans a transformative related-party merger with Thramann Holdings, combining both businesses into a new holding company, McCarthy Finney, that is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker “MCFN.” Auddia and Thramann will become wholly owned subsidiaries of McCarthy Finney.
At closing, former Thramann holders are expected to have an approximately 80% economic interest in McCarthy Finney, while existing Auddia stockholders will hold about 20%, subject to adjustments based on Auddia’s net cash. Auddia must have at least $12 million of net cash at closing for the deal to proceed.
Thramann holders will receive Holdco Special Preferred Stock and $3.5 million of unsecured Holdco Notes bearing 8.0% interest and exchangeable into Special Preferred. The Special Preferred carries a stated value of $1,000 per share, a minimum aggregate liquidation preference of $20.5 million, broad voting and board designation rights, and conversion features tied to the Nasdaq minimum price.
Auddia’s special committee of independent directors unanimously approved the merger as fair and obtained a fairness opinion from Houlihan Capital. Audited financials show Thramann’s portfolio companies are pre-revenue with recurring operating losses and a going concern warning, meaning they will rely on continued funding and future execution.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Significant dilution and control shift: Former Thramann holders are expected to receive roughly 80% economic interest in McCarthy Finney, leaving current Auddia stockholders with about 20%, and Special Preferred terms give Thramann-affiliated investors strong liquidation and governance rights.
- Target business going concern risk: Thramann’s subsidiaries are pre-revenue and incurred a
$324,746 net loss in2024 ; the auditor cites substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern without ongoing funding.

Auddia Merger Consideration; Treatment of Equity Awards
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, (i) at the effective time of the Auddia Merger (the “Auddia Merger Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Auddia, par value $0.001 per share (“Auddia Common Stock”) (other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Holdco (“Holdco Common Stock”) and (ii) at the Auddia Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of preferred stock of Auddia, par value $0.001 per share (the “Auddia Preferred Stock”) (other than any Auddia Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of preferred stock of Holdco, par value $0.001 per share, to be designated as Series C Preferred Stock (or such other class or series of preferred stock as mutually agreed by the parties), having the rights, preferences, powers and privileges that are substantially similar to Auddia’s existing and outstanding Series C preferred stock.
Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Auddia Common Stock (an “Auddia Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Auddia Merger Effective Time shall, as of the Auddia Merger Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an option to purchase, on the terms and conditions (including, if applicable, any continuing vesting requirements and per share exercise price) under the applicable plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Auddia Merger Effective Time, a number of shares of Holdco Common Stock equal to the total number of shares of Auddia Common Stock subject to such Auddia Option immediately prior to the Auddia Merger Effective Time.
Each unvested restricted stock unit award of Auddia (an “Auddia Restricted Stock Unit Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Auddia Merger Effective Time shall, as of the Auddia Merger Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Holdco restricted stock unit on the terms and conditions (including, if applicable, any continuing vesting requirements) under the applicable employee plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Auddia Merger Effective Time, with respect to a number of shares of Holdco Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Auddia Common Stock subject to such Auddia Restricted Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Auddia Merger Effective Time.
Thramann Merger Consideration
At the effective time of the Thramann Merger (the “Thramann Merger Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding membership interest of Thramann (“Thramann Membership Interest”) (other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive (i) a number of shares of Holdco Special Preferred Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as determined based on a ratio calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as further described below (the “Thramann Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio”) and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of Holdco Notes (as defined in the Merger Agreement) equal to $3.5 million, as determined based on a ratio calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as further described below (the “Thramann Notes Exchange Ratio”).
| 2 |
Under the Thramann Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio and Thramann Notes Exchange Ratio formulas in the Merger Agreement, former holders of Thramann Membership Interests will hold an approximately 80.0% economic interest and holders of Auddia Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Auddia Merger will hold an approximately 20.0% economic interest in Holdco. The 80.0% economic interest attributable to former Thramann holders includes $3.5 million in non-convertible Holdco Notes (which are exchangeable for Holdco Special Preferred Stock). Under certain circumstances, as described below, the ownership percentages may be adjusted upward or downward based on the level of Auddia’s net cash at closing. There can be no assurances as to Auddia’s level of net cash at closing.
If Auddia’s Net Cash exceeds $20.0 million, Auddia's ownership percentage will be increased by 50% of the excess amount. If Auddia’s Net Cash exceeds $20.0 million, the Auddia ownership percentage will be increased by 0.50% for each $1.0 million by which Auddia’s Net Cash exceeds $20.0 million. If Auddia’s Net Cash is between $12.0 million and $20.0 million, no adjustment will be made to the ownership percentages. If Auddia’s Net Cash is below $12.0 million, the Auddia ownership percentage will be decreased by 0.50% for each $1.0 million by which Net Cash is below $12.0 million.

The terms of the Holdco Special Preferred Stock to be issued at the closing of the transaction are summarized below.

Approval and Recommendation of the Special Committee
In connection with the Mergers, Auddia plans to seek the approval of its stockholders at a special meeting to approve the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Since Thramann is wholly owned by Jeff Thramann, Auddia’s President and Chief Executive Officer, the Mergers collectively constitute a related party transaction under U.S. securities laws and, as a result, the Mergers and the Merger Agreement have been reviewed and approved by a special committee of independent and disinterested directors of Auddia (the “Special Committee”). The Special Committee has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Auddia and its stockholders and (ii) determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, that the stockholders of Auddia vote to authorize the Mergers and adopted the Merger Agreement.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Each of Auddia and Thramann has agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants relating to (a) obtaining the requisite approval of their respective members or stockholders, as applicable, (b) non-solicitation of alternative acquisition proposals, (c) the conduct of their respective businesses during the period between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing, (d) Auddia maintaining the existing listing of the Auddia Common Stock on Nasdaq (e) Auddia filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and causing to become effective a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the shares of Holdco Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers (the “Registration Statement”). Auddia’s “no-shop” provision is subject to certain exceptions that permit the Special Committee and the board of directors of Auddia to comply with its fiduciary duties, which, under certain circumstances, would enable Auddia to provide information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, third parties in response to any alternative acquisition proposals.
Closing Conditions
Consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (a) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (b) the absence of any orders or injunctions by any governmental entity that would prohibit consummation of the Merger, (c) approval by Auddia’s stockholders of the Mergers and related matters, (d) Auddia’s net cash at closing being at least equal to $12,000,000, (e) the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined below) continuing to be in full force and effect as of immediately following the applicable Effective Time, and (f) Holdco having obtained approval of the listing of the combined company pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules.
Each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to other specified customary conditions, including regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, subject to applicable materiality standards, and the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement required to be performed on or prior to the date of the closing.
Termination and Termination Fees
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of Auddia and Thramann. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Auddia may be required to pay Thramann a termination fee of $600,000 and reimburse Thramann for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Thramann in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, up to a maximum of $200,000.

Governance
At the Auddia Merger Effective Time and Thramann Merger Effective Time, the four members of the board of directors of Auddia are expected to continue to serve as the members of the board of directors of the combined company. Mr. Thramann and John Mahoney are expected to continue and the President and CEO and Chief Financial Officer of the combined company, respectively.
Support Agreements and Lock-Up Agreement
Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the executive officers and directors of Auddia have entered into support agreements (the “Support Agreements”) with Auddia and Thramann to, among other things, vote all of their shares of Auddia Common Stock in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Jeff Thramann, as the sole member of Thramann, has entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which, and subject to specified exceptions, Mr. Thramann has agreed not to transfer any shares of Holdco Common Stock for a 180-day period following the closing.
The preceding summaries of the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreements and the Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the form of Support Agreement, and the form of Lock-Up Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which are incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Auddia or Thramann or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Auddia in Auddia’s public reports filed with the SEC. The Merger Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants of Auddia, Thramann and the Merger Subs made solely for the purpose of the Merger Agreement and solely for the benefit of the parties thereto in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Auddia, Thramann or any of their respective affiliates. Moreover, certain of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to SEC filings or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters of fact.

On February 17, 2026, Auddia and Thramann issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, except that the information contained on the websites referenced in the press release is not incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Auddia Announces Signing of Definitive Merger Agreement for Business Combination
Auddia proposes to merge with Thramann Holdings and restructure into a holding company called McCarthy Finney with ticker symbol changing to MCFN
Auddia shareholders to own approximately 20% of MCFN at closing
Company estimates base case DCF valuation of McCarthy Finney to be $250 million
BOULDER, CO / February 18, 2026 / Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ:AUUD) (NASDAQ:AUUDW) (“Auddia” or the “Company”), today announced that in a follow up to the business combination LOI previously announced in August 2025, the Company’s board, acting upon the recommendation of its special committee of independent directors, has approved a definitive merger agreement for a business combination between Auddia and Thramann Holdings, LLC (“Thramann Holdings”).
Thramann Holdings is a privately held holding company that controls LT350, Influence Healthcare, and Voyex, three early stage AI-native companies founded by Jeff Thramann. Dr. Thramann is a serial entrepreneur and inventor named on over 130 U.S. and international patents. He has taken Auddia and Aclarion, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACON) public, sold Lanx and US Radiosurgery to public companies, sold ProNerve and American Physicians to private equity, and sold Denver CyberKnife to a private company. Thramann is the founder of each of these companies except Aclarion.
“As an innovator, I have spent the past 15 years securing patents in the AI infrastructure space, immersing myself in both the development and use of AI models, and developing blockchain and digital currency strategies aimed at empowering the value drivers of industries to reinvent their markets,” said Jeff Thramann, founder, Chairman, and CEO of Auddia. “I believe there is an incredible opportunity for a company at the juncture of AI and web3 to harness these technologies to build significant value across numerous verticals.”
Upon closing of the transaction, Auddia will be renamed McCarthy Finney and trade under its new MCFN ticker. Auddia will become a fully owned subsidiary and each of the three Thramann Holdings entities will also be fully owned by McCarthy Finney. Jeff Thramann will remain as CEO of McCarthy Finney and John Mahoney will remain as CFO. Auddia’s current board members are expected to continue as members of the board of the combined company.
Auddia shareholders are expected to own 20% of McCarthy Finney at closing with 80% of the combined company expected to be owned at closing by Jeff Thramann. The closing of the merger will be conditioned on Auddia having at least $12 million cash on hand at closing in order to provide cash runway to fund McCarthy Finney to key future business milestones.
Based on a discounted cash flow analysis of McCarthy Finney’s forward looking 10-year pro forma completed by management, the Company estimates the base case valuation of McCarthy Finney to be $250 million. Financial statements and other detailed financial disclosures about McCarthy Finney and its portfolio companies will be included in the relevant materials that Auddia intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a registration statement on Form S-4.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both companies and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals by the Auddia stockholders, the effectiveness of the S-4 registration statement to be filed with the SEC to register the shares of McCarthy Finney stock to be issued in connection with the merger, and the continued listing of the combined company’s common stock on Nasdaq.
In connection with the approval of the merger agreement, Houlihan Capital provided a fairness opinion to Auddia’s special committee and board of directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Thramann Holdings, LLC
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Thramann Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related combined statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Basis of Accounting
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements referred to as Thramann Holdings LLC includes the accounts of LT350, LLC, Influence Healthcare, LLC, and Voyex, LLC (collectively, the Company) all of which are related through common ownership and control. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the combination.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Estimates
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Software Development Costs
Financial accounting standards board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 Internal use software, specifies that capitalization of internally developed software occurring during the application development stage. Once a project has reached application development, direct incremental, internal and external costs are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready to be placed into service. The costs are amortized over their expected usefulness of life of five years.
Research and development costs that do not qualify as capitalized software costs are expensed as incurred.
Long lived assets, such as patents, Software development costs, and other software, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company concluded that there has been no indication of impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. As such, no impairment has been recorded.
Patents
We capitalize external costs, such as filing fees and associated attorney fees, incurred to obtain issued patents and patent license rights. We expense costs associated with maintaining and defending patents subsequent to their issuance in the period incurred. We amortize capitalized patent costs for internally generated patents on a straight-line basis over 8 to 20 years, which represents the estimated useful lives of the patents. We assess the potential impairment to all capitalized net patent costs when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our patent portfolio may not be recoverable.
| 8 |
Revenue Recognition
Revenue will be measured according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and will be recognized based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and will exclude any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company will recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a service or product to a customer. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company will report revenues net of any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer in the accompanying statements of operations. Collected taxes, if applicable, will be recorded within other current liabilities until remitted to the relevant taxing authority.
Subscriber revenue will consist primarily of subscription fees and other ancillary subscription-based revenues. Revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis when the performance obligations to provide each service for the period have been satisfied, which is over time as our subscription services are continuously available and can be consumed by customers at any time. There is no revenue recognized for unpaid trial subscriptions.
Customers may pay for the services in advance of the performance obligation and therefore these prepayments will be recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue in the accompanying statements of operations as the services are provided.
Income Taxes
The Companies are single-member limited liability companies and are recognized as partnerships for federal and state income tax purposes. As partnerships, items of income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits are passed through to the member each year and reported on the member’s respective tax returns; accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in these combined financial statements.
The Companies are subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities for all open tax years. Management believes that any potential liability for income taxes, including related interest and penalties, would not have a material impact on the combined financial statements.
The Companies apply the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, in evaluating uncertain tax positions. Management has analyzed the Companies’ tax positions and has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the combined financial statements.
Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be subject to limitations under federal and state tax law, including changes in ownership or other restrictions, which could affect the timing and amount of future tax benefits.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company recognized operating losses of $324,746 and $345,677 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company is also pre-revenue and has no income generation. These conditions provide doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Historically, the Company’s member has provided the necessary support to fund the operations and activities of the Company.
The Company’s future operations are ultimately dependent upon the market acceptance of the Company’s services and future revenues generated as well as its ability to manage its cash outflows from operations. If the Company does not achieve expected revenue levels or is unable to manage its cash outflows from operations, the Company will be required to obtain additional financing from its current member or other sources. In the event the Company requires additional financing, there can be no guarantee that the Company will successfully obtain the additional equity or debt financing in amounts and with terms acceptable to the Company.

Note 4 – Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses represent obligations for goods and services received that have not yet been invoiced or paid as of the reporting date. These liabilities are recorded when incurred in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting and are classified as current liabilities on the combined balance sheets. Accrued expenses consist of estimated legal and consulting fees.
Note 5 – Related Party Payable
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reflected transactions with Prasari LLC, a related party who paid for certain expenses of the Company during 2023. These expenses totaled $23,090 and $0 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The patent purchase agreement has three potential future commitments in the amount of $1,840,464 in exchange for reaching certain milestone events defined in the agreement. Management concluded that, due to the uncertainty and timing surrounding FDA application and approval as of the balance sheet date, the probability could not be reasonably determined and, accordingly, no accrual was recorded.
Note 7 – Equity
Voyex, LLC, Influence Healthcare, LLC, and LT 350, LLC are single member LLCs with one owner of the member’s equity of each entity. The sole member’s equity consists of capital contributions and the cumulative effect of net income or loss and distributions. No shares of stock are issued, and there are no other equity holders. The sole member has full control over the operations and financial decisions of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, member equity consisted of $763,200 in contributions and $7,499 in distributions. During the year ended December 31, 2023, member equity consisted of $313,000 in contributions.
Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no such matters and therefore the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company did not have any lease obligations as of December 31, 2024 or 2023 that resulted in a lease liability or right-of-use-asset.
Note 9 – Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
| 11 |
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company at the subsidiary level to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company has three operating segments. To evaluate each reportable segment, the CODM uses operating expenses as a measure of profit and loss.
| Segment Assets | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||||||
| LT350 | $ | 233,669 | $ | 240,964 | ||||

Note 10 – Subsequent Events
Management evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date, up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than below, management did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) for a proposed business combination between Thramann Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and Auddia, Inc. ("Auddia”) The LOI contemplates a business combination between Auddia and Holdings with Auddia becoming a public holding company trading under a new name and ticker symbol. The transaction would result in the portfolio companies of Holdings and Auddia becoming subsidiaries of the public holding company.
On February 17, 2026, Auddia, acting upon the recommendation of its special committee of independent directors, entered into a definitive merger agreement for a business combination between Auddia and the Company
Auddia shareholders are expected to own approximately 20% of the combined company at closing. Approximately 80% of the combined company is expected to be owned at closing by Jeff Thramann. The consideration payable to Mr. Thramann by the combined company will be a combination of (i) convertible preferred stock and (ii) non-convertible debt.
The exact percentage of the combined company that shareholders will own after completion of the merger is subject to adjustment based on Auddia’s net cash at the time of closing. The closing of the merger will be conditioned on Auddia having at least $12 million net cash on hand at closing in order to provide cash runway to fund the combined company to key future business milestones.
For more information about the business combination transaction, please see Auddia's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026.

Before the transfer could be consummated, all three entities were sold for a combined total of $223M and the founder’s equity position was liquidated. Thramann Holdings was maintained as a single member Colorado LLC in good standing as it was thought the entity might prove useful in the future.
On September 16, 2025, Thramann Holdings entered into a Contribution Agreement to receive 100% ownership of three single member Colorado LLCs founded and fully owned by Jeff Thramann.

Basis of Accounting
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
| 7 |
Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements referred to as Thramann Holdings LLC includes the accounts of LT350, LLC, Influence Healthcare, LLC, and Voyex, LLC (collectively, the Company) all of which are related through common ownership and control. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the combination.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Estimates
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Software Development Costs
Financial accounting standards board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 Internal use software, specifies that capitalization of internally developed software occurring during the application development stage. Once a project has reached application development, direct incremental, internal and external costs are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready to be placed into service. The costs are amortized over their expected usefulness of life of five years.
Research and development costs that do not qualify as capitalized software costs are expensed as incurred.
Long lived assets, such as patents, Software development costs, and other software, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company concluded that there has been no indication of impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. As such, no impairment has been recorded.
Patents
We capitalize external costs, such as filing fees and associated attorney fees, incurred to obtain issued patents and patent license rights. We expense costs associated with maintaining and defending patents subsequent to their issuance in the period incurred. We amortize capitalized patent costs for internally generated patents on a straight-line basis over 8 to 20 years, which represents the estimated useful lives of the patents.

Note 4 – Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses represent obligations for goods and services received that have not yet been invoiced or paid as of the reporting date. These liabilities are recorded when incurred in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting and are classified as current liabilities on the combined balance sheets. Accrued expenses consist of estimated legal and consulting fees.
Note 5 – Related Party Payable
As of December 31,2024, the Company reflected transactions with Prasari LLC, a related party who paid for certain expenses of the Company during 2023. These expenses totaled $23,090 and were recorded as a related party payable on the accompanying combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. These expenses were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the related party payable was reduced to $0 as of September 30, 2025.
| 10 |
Note 6 – Consideration Payable
On May 9, 2024, the Company entered into a patent purchase agreement in the amount of $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining payments due amounted to $187,500 and $525,000, respectively.
The patent purchase agreement has three potential future commitments in the amount of $1,840,464 in exchange for reaching certain milestone events defined in the agreement. Management concluded that, due to the uncertainty and timing surrounding FDA application and approval as of the balance sheet date, the probability could not be reasonably determined and, accordingly, no accrual was recorded.
Note 7 – Equity
Voyex, LLC, Influence Healthcare, LLC, and LT 350, LLC are single member LLCs with one owner of the member’s equity of each entity. The sole member’s equity consists of capital contributions and the cumulative effect of net income or loss and distributions. No shares of stock are issued, and there are no other equity holders. The sole member has full control over the operations and financial decisions of the Company.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, member equity consisted of $479,590 in contributions and $1,500 in distributions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, member equity consisted of $687,201 in contributions.
Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no such matters and therefore the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company did not have any lease obligations as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, that resulted in a lease liability or right-of-use-asset.
Note 9 – Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
| 11 |
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company at the subsidiary level to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company has three operating segments with some general and administrative expenses held at the holding company level. To evaluate each reportable segment, the CODM uses operating expenses as a measure of profit and loss.

Note 10 – Subsequent Events
Management evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date, up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than below, management did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) for a proposed business combination between Thramann Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and Auddia, Inc. ("Auddia”) The LOI contemplates a business combination between Auddia and Holdings with Auddia becoming a public holding company trading under a new name and ticker symbol. The transaction would result in the portfolio companies of Holdings and Auddia becoming subsidiaries of the public holding company.
On February 17, 2026, Auddia, acting upon the recommendation of its special committee of independent directors, entered into a definitive merger agreement for a business combination between Auddia and the Company
Auddia shareholders are expected to own approximately 20% of the combined company at closing. Approximately 80% of the combined company is expected to be owned at closing by Jeff Thramann. The consideration payable to Mr. Thramann by the combined company will be a combination of (i) convertible preferred stock and (ii) non-convertible debt.
The exact percentage of the combined company that shareholders will own after completion of the merger is subject to adjustment based on Auddia’s net cash at the time of closing. The closing of the merger will be conditioned on Auddia having at least $12 million net cash on hand at closing in order to provide cash runway to fund the combined company to key future business milestones.
For more information about the business combination transaction, please see Auddia's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Basis of Presentation and Business Combination
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the separate historical financial statements of Auddia and Thramann Holdings and give effect to the Business Combination, including pro forma assumptions and adjustments related to the Merger, as described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, is presented as if the Merger had occurred on September 30, 2025. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 gives effect to the Merger, as if it had been completed on January 1, 2024. The historical financial information has been adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Merger and, with respect to the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations.
Merger
The Merger is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP because Thramann Holdings has been determined to be the accounting acquirer under FASB’s ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, Auddia will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Thramann Holdings will become the historical financial statements of the newly merged company, and Auddia assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Thramann Holdings beginning on the acquisition date. For accounting purposes, the financial statements of McCarthy Finney will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Thramann Holdings with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Thramann Holdings issuing stock for the net assets of Auddia, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Auddia will be stated at historical values. Operations prior to the Merger will be presented as those of Thramann Holdings in future reports of McCarthy Finney. This determination is primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances taken into consideration:
| · | Pre-business combination shareholders of Thramann Holdings will own a relatively larger portion in McCarthy Finney compared to the ownership to be held by the pre-business combination stockholders of Auddia; | |
| · | Thramann Holdings has the right to appoint a majority of McCarthy Finney directors; and | |
| · | The operations of Thramann Holdings prior to the transaction will comprise the only ongoing operations of McCarthy Finney. |
Under the reverse recapitalization model, the business combination will be treated as Thramann Holdings issuing equity for the net assets of Auddia.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations does not include the effects of the costs associated with any integration or restructuring activities resulting from the Business Combination. However, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a pro forma adjustment to reduce cash and stockholders’ equity to reflect the payment of certain anticipated Business Combination costs.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Auddia and Thramann Holdings, adjusted to give effect to the Merger and other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025 combines the adjusted balance sheet of Auddia with the historical Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Thramann Holdings on a pro forma basis as if the Acquisition Merger and the other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, summarized below, had been consummated on September 30, 2025.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 combines the historical unaudited statements of operations of Auddia for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the historical Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of Thramann Holdings for the same respective periods, giving effect to the transaction as if the Merger and other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement had been consummated on January 1, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus:
| · | The historical unaudited financial statements of Auddia as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; | |
| · | The historical audited financial statements of Auddia for the year ended December 31, 2024; | |
| · | The historical unaudited financial statements of Thramann Holdings as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; | |
| · | The historical audited financial statements of Thramann Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2024; and | |
| · | other information relating to Auddia and Thramann Holdings included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Business Combination Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth thereof and the financial and operational condition of Auddia and Thramann Holdings (see “Auddia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and “Thramann Holdings Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”). |
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes is reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of McCarthy Finney. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Auddia and Thramann Holdings.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined information contained herein assumes that Auddia’s stockholders approve the Business Combination.
The total number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025, giving effect to the Business Combination on a pro forma unaudited as adjusted basis for the Auddia common stockholders is 12,702,563.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The Acquisition Merger is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP because Thramann Holdings has been determined to be the accounting acquirer under ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, Auddia will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Thramann Holdings will become the historical financial statements of the newly merged company and Auddia’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Thramann Holdings beginning on the acquisition date. For accounting purposes, the financial statements of McCarthy Finney will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Thramann Holdings with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Thramann Holdings issuing stock for the net assets of Auddia, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Auddia will be stated at historical values. Operations prior to the Merger will be presented as those of Thramann Holdings in future reports of McCarthy Finney. Earnings per share information has not been presented in the pro forma financial information because Thramann Holdings, the accounting acquirer, historically does not present earnings per share, and the pro forma financial statements follow the form and content of its historical financial statements in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Auddia has also considered the provisions of ASC 805 and section 12100 of the SEC’s Financial Reporting Manual (the “FRM”) in making the statements that the transaction is intended to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and that Auddia believes Thramann Holdings is the accounting acquirer.
Upon consummation of the Merger, McCarthy Finney will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of McCarthy Finney.
